Book Promotion Tips –
1. Don’t be restrained to just one or two modes of marketing. Market your books through the print, electronic, and digital media. Employ both formal and informal ways of book promotion.

2. Send your manuscripts to as many publishers as possible. Send them through book agents. Unsolicited manuscripts are a pet peeve of publishers. Try for big as well as small publishers.

If big names reject your manuscript, small ones may accept it. Don’t get disappointed if a large number of publishers have refused to publish it. Review it once again, find out the flaws, and correct them. A corrected version of your manuscript’s copy might be acceptable to another publisher.

3. Use the online mode of book promotion in the best possible way. Convert your book into an EBook and then ask your friends to write reviews about it on Amazon, blogs, Facebook, and other portals.

Make your title in such a way that it goes viral on the web. If you can accomplish this and have maximum people talking about it, your book is sure to pick the initial wave of success.

4. Viral marketing ensures that your books are sold with an overwhelming buzz, which may or may not last longer. For sustained success, you need good content.

Content should be engaging to the extent that readers wish to inquire more about your other books too. If you are a writer who writes on the genre of romance, your novels should have the ability to make committed people fall in love again, make cold-hearted people melt, and make youngsters get lost in your book.

5. Be generous with book distribution. Give away copies randomly to people who seem interested in your work. Use your word-of-mouth skills to their maximum capacity. Youngsters are the best target for romantic novels. These guys can spread the word at the speed of a rocket.

6. Do not underestimate the power of social media in today’s times. If you are absent from social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, or Pinterest, you are as good as non-existent. Create your own page on Facebook, tweet regularly about your book, have an active Google Plus account under the name of the book, and be open to reviews, comments, and even criticism.

7. Never be an isolated, cold, and unapproachable author. Communicate with readers through social media or through blogs by replying to their comments. The more you involve people, the more they get interested in your book and help you to promote it.
